Great Experience
The tour was really interesting and the guide could tell us so much about it. I was a fan and my friends absolutely loved the Lisbon food experience. There were a few smaller restaurants and some bigger chains like Manteigaria that you know for the pastries, but also some local spots I hadn't discovered before. I was definitely positively surprised and can highly recommend the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering both well-known spots and some local places you hadn’t experienced before. It’s great to know that the tour was a pleasant surprise for you and that your friends enjoyed it as well. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Lisbon!

A fantastic Lisbon food experience with friends
We had an amazing time on this Portuguese food tour! It was the perfect activity for our group of friends and gave us a delicious introduction to Lisbon’s food, culture, and history. Every stop offered something different, from traditional local dishes to drinks and hidden neighborhood gems we probably would not have discovered on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole group feel welcome. The tour was well organized, relaxed, and full of interesting stories without ever feeling rushed. There was plenty of food, great conversation, and lots of laughs along the way. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting with friends and looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you and your friends enjoyed discovering Lisbon’s food, culture, and hidden local spots. It’s great to hear that our guide helped make the experience relaxed, fun, and memorable for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in Lisbon!

Best Food Tour
It was so good and I really liked the tour because the food places were too great and tour guide was the best.

Great food choice!
The portions were generous, so definitely come hungry! I also appreciated that the tour focused on family-run businesses and local favorites rather than touristy spots. It felt like getting a genuine taste of Lisbon through the eyes of a local. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon, especially if it’s your first time in the city. It’s a fantastic way to discover authentic Portuguese cuisine while meeting fellow travelers. One of the highlights of my trip!

Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, Escape Hunt Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Drinks that are a part of our pre-established menu; All food; Detailed Portuguese food guide; and Guide. Not included: Additional drinks can be bought separately. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Lisbon Portuguese Food Tour offered in?
+
